GitHub Growth Tracker

Track stars, forks, issues, and commit activity across GitHub repos. Generates periodic digests with trend analysis (↑↓→) and compares your repos against a watchlist you curate.

Features

• Track your repos — stars, forks, open issues, subscribers, commit frequency
• Watchlist comparison — compare your commit velocity against repos you care about
• Trend analysis — see what changed with one-line arrows (↑↓→)
• Channel-aware formatting — clean output for Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, or terminal
• Zero dependencies — pure Python stdlib (no pip install needed)

Install

clawhub install github-growth-tracker

Quick Start

1. Create a GitHub fine-grained PAT with public repo read-only access
2. Run setup (your agent handles this):

   python3 scripts/github_tracker.py setup --token <TOKEN>
   

3. Add repos to track:

   python3 scripts/github_tracker.py add owner/repo1 owner/repo2
   

4. Add repos to your comparison watchlist:

   python3 scripts/github_tracker.py add other/repo --watch
   

5. Fetch and view your digest:

   python3 scripts/github_tracker.py fetch
   python3 scripts/github_tracker.py digest
   

Commands

Command	Purpose
setup [--token TOKEN]	List your repos, optionally save token to credentials
fetch	Fetch current metrics for all tracked + watched repos
digest	Generate growth digest with trends and watchlist comparison
add repo1 [repo2 ...] [--watch]	Add repos to tracking or watchlist
remove owner/repo	Stop tracking (history preserved)

Scheduled Monitoring

Set up a daily cron or heartbeat to fetch and deliver digests automatically:

python3 <skill_path>/scripts/github_tracker.py fetch && python3 <skill_path>/scripts/github_tracker.py digest

Token is stored at ~/.openclaw/credentials/github.json (outside workspace). Alternatively, set GITHUB_TOKEN as an environment variable.
